This year, 2,841 international students, hailing from 121 countries, are enrolled at Yale—about 22 percent of the university’s total enrollment. That number includes 636 undergraduates (about 11 percent of all undergrads) and 2,205 graduate and professional students (about 33 percent). This map indicates what percentage of international students comes from each of ten world regions. 

NOTE: the region at right shaded in gold is mistakenly labeled as Central Asia; it is actually East Asia.
